Route
Following the course of the St. Lawrence River, the 37 km St. Lawrence
Bikeway is the designated Waterfront Trail in this area. Renowned
as one of the Province's best trails, it connects you to several
communities, incredible vistas and one of Canada's first national
parks, St. Lawrence Islands National Park. Mallorytown Landing is
the park's base. Rocky shoreline, mature trees, an interpretation
centre, museum and washrooms are on-site. It's a fabulous place
to stop for lunch.
